simple snowflake ornaments

Hello!  Well as we come down to the wire on getting all of our Christmas shopping and prep done be sure to take a moment for yourself and enjoy in the wonder of the season.

Today I am sharing some very quick and easy snowflake ornaments that I made one afternoon while I was hanging out in the studio.  

 These started out with some plain wooden snowflake ornaments that I picked up awhile back.  I wish I had taken a picture of the naked ornaments, but I didn't.  Bummeroli!


For the silver ornament I just applied a layer of Tombow Mono Aqua Adhesive and then sprinkled with some White Gala Glitz. I set it aside to dry and then repeated the same process on the reverse side.   For the turquoise snowflake I simply colored the wooden ornament with a Turquoise Tombow Dual Brush Pen and then added the Mono Aqua Adhesive and some Silver Gala Glitz.  If you are unfamiliar with Gala Glitz it is a beautiful mix of vintage glass glitter shards with teeny silver, pearl and clear balls. Need some?  You can get it here.   These ornaments are so sparkly and pretty in person, I can't wait to add them to my tree!

  1. Such beautiful snowflakes! I really like the aqua one...I didn't realize that you could color wood with the Tombow pens and get such true color...guess I never gave it much thought...always thought I needed to color wood with acrylic paint! Thanks for teaching me something new! And, I have to look into that Gala Glitz...love how sparkly it is.
